Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters to kilometers is 0.001, which means that 1 meter is equal to 0.001 kilometers:

1 m = 0.001 km

To convert 1079 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 1079 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from meters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m → 0.001 km

1079 m → L_(km)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in kilometers:

L_(km) = 1079 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 1.079 km

The final result is:

1079 m → 1.079 km

We conclude that 1079 meters is equivalent to 1.079 kilometers:

1079 meters = 1.079 kilometers

Alternative conversion
